Yuppies and the Grocery

I was in an Aldi's store the other day. There were two managers there. I shared with them some concerns and dislikes I had concerning their store.

I shared simple things such as thinking it would be good to carry Ice Cream toppings all year long. I shared that ice cream topping is not seasonal.

The Yuppie managers were offended that I approached them.

I went home and wrote the main office. They sent me a very polite
letter saying they have no intention of changing the way they do things.

Meijer's will open in Marion soon. It will give Aldi's a bit more competition. They will get as much of my business as I can give them, especially in their organic produce.

Business in America is being run by yuppies, service and customer needs be damned! They will run their store, by computer printouts, and projected sales charts. Good products will be passed by for cheaper ones.

But do they know their self-focus and pride will eventually bring them down?


Possibe mottos for Aldi's: "The customer is never right" , "We know your needs better then you", "We will do whatever we damn well please."
